Cherry-Plum x 'Opata'

Cherry-Plum x 'Opata': A Juicy Cherry-Plum with Golden-Green Flesh

Opata produces aromatic cherry-plums with red-purple skins and yellow-green flesh. The sweet flavour has a gentle tang, while the spreading shrub keeps the crop closer to picking height than a large orchard tree.

Plant Characteristics:

• Height: 2.5 m
• Spread: 2 m
• Flower Colour: White
• Flowering Period: May
• Foliage: Green
• Sunlight Requirements: Full Sun
• Soil Requirements: Well-Drained Soil

Uses and Benefits: Enjoy the fruit fresh and save some for pies, juice or jam. Its lighter flesh offers a useful contrast to darker cherry-plum selections.

Care Instructions: Provide a compatible cherry-plum or Canada plum for cross-pollination. Give the spreading branches room, water in dry weather and pick fully mature fruit for the best balance of sweetness and tang.
